Last minute script changes by Marvel Studios is being blamed for the departure of Edgar Wright from the Ant-Man movie.

In their report on the parting of ways between Wright and Marvel, THR also suggests the July 2015 release date for Ant-Man might be in jeopardy as well. It's said Ant-Man was supposed to start production on June 2nd, but Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige has ordered a hiatus while a new director is being found.

It's also stated that Ant-Man under Wright was considered too "quirky," and that with Guardians of the Galaxy already being different than a typical Marvel movie, it's suggested that Kevin Feige and Marvel didn't want to take further risks.

It's said that Feige ordered script edits on Ant-Man that happened without Wright's knowledge or consent. Reportedly when Wright received the changes, he was none too happy and left the project.
